Bad Day at Riverbend by Chris Van Alsburgh lends itself well to inferencing. I always read the book without showing the pictures and have the student inference what the goo is. Then I read it with the pictures and have them inference again. It is usually a rememberable lesson.

If you go to the Sunflower room there is a post asking about connections books. In that link there is an attachment and a link with books for all the comprehension strategies including inferring! There is also a post on Georgia poems that discusses inferring. Hope this helps.
